Edea, Z.Dadi, H.Dessie, TadelleUzzaman, M.R.Rothschild, Max F.Kim, E.S.Sonstegard, T.S.Kim, K.S.[Genome-wide scan reveals divergent selection among taurine and zebu cattle populations from different regions]Genome-wide scan reveals divergent selection among taurine and zebu cattle populations from different regions

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic disease of great public health and economic importance transmitted by mosquitoes. The main method of preventing the disease is vaccination of susceptible livestock before outbreaks occur. Studies on RVF vaccines have focused on the production processes, safet...


Mutua, EdnaHaan, Nicoline C. deTumusiime, DanJost, ChristineBett, Bernard K.[A qualitative study on gendered barriers to livestock vaccine uptake in Kenya and Uganda and their implications on Rift Valley fever control]A qualitative study on gendered barriers to livestock vaccine uptake in Kenya and Uganda and their implications on Rift Valley fever control

Sheko is the only surviving taurine of the Abyssinian region, and is in danger ofextinction mainly due to interbreeding with neighboring Zebu breeds and scarcityof pure Sheko breeding bulls. This study was undertaken to study current statusof Sheko cattle breed and husbandry practices in southwes...

Agriculture and livestock production systems are two major emitters of greenhouse gases. Methane with a GWP (global warming potential) of 21, and nitrous oxide (N2O) with a GWP of 300, are largely emitted from animal production agriculture, where livestock production is based on pasture and feed ...


Subbaraoa, Guntur V.Rao, Idupulapati M.Nakahara, K.Sahrawat, Kanwar LalHash, C.T.Ando, YasuoKawashima, T.[Potential for biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) to reduce nitrification and N2O emissions from pasture-crop-livestock systems]Potential for biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) to reduce nitrification and N2O emissions from pasture-crop-livestock systems

Determinants of the use of cereal and pulse residue for livestock feeding and soil mulching among smallholder farmers in the mixed farming system were analyzed. Crop residue (CR) is dual purpose resources in the mixed crop–livestock systems of the Ethiopian highlands. They serve as livestock feed...


Alkhtib, A.Wamatu, JaneKassie, Girma T.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.[Analysis of crop residue use in small holder mixed farms in Ethiopia]Analysis of crop residue use in small holder mixed farms in Ethiopia

Five varieties of faba beans, 4 improved and released variety and one local variety, were investigated for varietal variation in straw yield, nutritive value of straw morphological fractions and grain yield. Samples of the whole plant biomass were collected and separated into grain and straw. The...


Alkhtib, A.Wamatu, JaneWegi, T.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.[Variation in the straw traits of morphological fractions of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and implications for selecting for food-feed varieties]Variation in the straw traits of morphological fractions of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and implications for selecting for food-feed varieties

Agro-ecosystem productivity is highly dependent on moisture fluxes yet climate variability and climate change induce unpredictable dynamic interactions between farm-level and landscape-level flow of water resources. In this study, water balance dynamics at the farm level were investigated using r...


Kizito, FredPanyan, E.K.Ayantunde, Augustine A.Bossio, Deborah A.Karbo, N.Avornyo, Franklin K.Tengan, K.[Water balance dynamics in mixed crop-livestock systems of northern Ghana: Unraveling the interactions between farm-level and landscape fluxes in the face of climate change]Water balance dynamics in mixed crop-livestock systems of northern Ghana: Unraveling the interactions between farm-level and landscape fluxes in the face of climate change

Highlights the health problems among indigenous livestock raised by traditional farmers in the Ada District of the Ethiopian highlands, indicates the incidence of internal parasitism among cattle, ganges the relationship between faecal egg counts and liver damage in bovine fascioliasis, and state...
